Top 10 Most Marketable Degree Courses In Nigeria

This compilation of top 10 most marketable degree courses in Nigeria
is not based on real data survey per se, but on repeated unrecorded
observation of people in the work industry who have studied the courses
in the past. Note also that this is not based on who earns the highest
salary, but who has potential to earn decent income and live a
comfortable life with his degree. In other words, we are talking about
potentials, not how much the person is paid every month end.10. Mass Communication/Journalism: Mass
Communication will remain a marketable because not many universities do
it, but many institutions need it. The downside is, journalism is not
seen as exclusive preserve of MassComm graduates, as graduates of almost
any course are recruited by news outfits. Yet, the course still stands a
decent chance.9. Law: Maybe the supply is fast outstripping demand
and affecting pricing, Law has declined in economic value. However, it
remains a Top 10 course. Whether you decide to practice or go into
corporate world, or you decide to go into allied things like real estate
agency, you still stand a decent chance of earning decent income with a
Law degree.

8. Nursing/Laboratory Science: Nurses don’t earn
mouth-watering pay, but they are hardly jobless. I see Nurses change
jobs like clothes. Hospitals and clinics – private and public – are
springing up everyday, and a medium size clinic needs at least 4
Nurses. Some may have as much as 20. Same goes with Lab scientists,
although in lower demand.7. Mechanical, Electrical & other related Engineering courses:
Engineering courses generally sell in the oil and gas industry. In
addition these courses are also asked for in other major industries.6. Economics/Accounting/Finance: The good thing
about Economics is that it fits into many roles. I hesitated to include
Accounting here because Accounting degree alone without professional
qualifications is not usually so helpful; however, I included it because
I expect the accounting graduate to do the needful of writing
professional examinations after his degree. Even without professional
qualifications, you can still get a decent job with Accounting degree
only in the many small to medium scale firms that require the services
of accounting graduates. Finance is another great course. The three
courses, sometimes alongside Management and Business Administration, are
usually in hot demand, although supply still exceed demand and many
graduates of these courses are still jobless.5. Computer Science/Computer Engineering/IT courses:
IT professionals are in hot demand the world over. Nigeria is not
different. With special IT skills, your chance is even brighter. The
downside is, anybody can learn IT skills, even if he doesn’t study
computer engineering.4. Geology: It is also a course that places you in good position to penetrate the much-sought-after oil industry.3. Chemical/Petroleum Engineering: These courses
have the potential to fetch you the fattest pay check after graduation
because the companies that ask for them are those that pay heavily – the
oil companies.2. Estate Management/Architecture/Building/Survey/Civil Engineering:
A degree in any of these courses places you in a good position for
self-employment. Even from school, Architecture students make money
drawing plans for people. We consider these courses the second most
marketable courses in Nigeria.1. Medicine: Medicine may not earn you N500k per
month at entry level, but it is the course that guarantees you job the
most. I have never come across a jobless medical doctor. The pay may not
be as heavy as the Chemical engineering guy in the IOC, but you are
guaranteed of better-than-average income as a doctor. Medicine is number
1 on our list.Important: If your profession is so nice to have
made this top 10 most marketable degree courses in Nigeria but was
omitted, kindly add it in the comment box to assist others who would
love to study the degree programme.
